As the digital age continues to trudge forward, protect your data assets is more critical than ever. But what does that mean? You may have a security system for your home or office building, as well as quality software. Backup storage company Backblaze reported 61,590 sales of their brand of hard drives alone in the first quarter of 2016. That doesn’t even take into account the multitude of other hardrive companies or users who keep their data stored on discs and zip drives.

If you’re one of the many people who are storing your data physically, it’s time to up the ante with data and media safes. Here’s why.

An Extra Precaution for Sensitive Material

Whatever your industry, you’re likely to have information on your business that you’d rather not get into the hands of competitors. Or even as an individual, you may have important financial documents you’d like to keep private or even just priceless digital photos you want to preserve. There are cyber security measures you can take with the cloud, but if you want to take it a step further then a data and media safe can be essential. Like any safe, they’ll protect you in the case of burglary. It also can help to have all your critical discs and drives in one designated spot. But that’s not where the benefits of a data safe ends.

Beware of Dropping Temperatures

Data that is stored on disks or other electronic databases are always in danger of being erased or otherwise damaged if the temperature gets too low. Frigid winters can be the death nail to gigs, or even terabytes, of your personal data. While you may think you can depend on your thermostat to keep things at room temperature, this isn’t something you want to leave up to chance – especially if you’re storing business critical information. Data and media safes are designed specifically to maintain a temperature fit for your hard drives and discs. If the weather outside is frightful, your flash drives will still be delightful.

Protection for Disasters

In the case of extreme circumstances, you’ll want to make sure you’re fully protected. This isn’t just things getting a bit a chilly – we’re talking about things heating up. No one wants to think about a fire happening in their office building. However, the National Fire Protection Association reported 113,500 fires in non-residential buildings last year. During a case like that, your data is likely the last thing on your mind. That’s why it’s important to take the precautions now so you don’t have to think about it in the ensuing madness.
